Welcome

Ann Tashi Slater’s work has been published by The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Tin House, AGNI, Granta en español, and the HuffPost, among others. Her writing also appears in Women in Clothes (Penguin) and American Dragons (HarperCollins); her translation of fiction by Reinaldo Arenas was published in Old Rosa (Grove). Her work includes a novel related to the Tibetan after-death "bardo" journey and her family history, and a memoir-in-progress about a modern-day pilgrimage to India. Future projects include a book chronicling a vanishing Tibet, with photos taken when Ann traveled to Tibet in the mid-eighties.

Ann was born in Spain, lived for a year in Darjeeling and Kathmandu, and then moved to the States. She holds a BA in Comparative Literature from Princeton and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Michigan. Her travels and work have taken her around the world, to places including France, Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Thailand, and Bali. A longtime resident of Japan, she teaches at university in Tokyo.
